running code if try statements were successful in python
- by None
I was wondering if in python there was a simple way to run code if a try statement was successful that wasn't in the try statement itself. Is that what the else or finally commands do (I didn't understand their documentation)? I know I could use code like this:
successful = False
try:
#code that might fail
successful = True
except:
#error handling if code failed
if successful:
#code to run if try was successful that isn't part of try
but I was wondering if there was a shorter way
.
